Cryogenic Trap / ColdTrap / Cold Trap Gas Chromatography
Cryogenic cold trapping is frequently used for narrowing the chromatographic band and improving the detection limit.
When trapped, analytes must be released from the trap using a highly accurate and very fast heating ensuring that
they are introduced onto the column in a very sharp band. This results in better detection limit and better resolution.
Increase in Sensitivity
With CryoFocus-4 analytes are focused at the head or end of the column by cooling its selected section to sub-ambient temperature.
After re-focusing, the analytes are released from the trap in a very narrow band using an extreme fast heating rate of 60 °C/second.
As a result, very sharp peaks with a high signal to noise ratio are obtained.
